Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, the King of Qawwali, Maestro of Melodies: Tribute poem on Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan

In the realm of music, where legends reside,
There was a voice that soared, with power and pride.
Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, the King of Qawwali,
A maestro of melodies, revered by all devoutly.

His voice, a divine gift, held an ethereal charm,
With every note, he weaved hearts in his warm.
From the ancient Sufi tunes to the modern stage,
He painted emotions, with a voice that did engage.

Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan qawwal – Live in Concert

Pakistan’s pride, this beacon of devotion,
His music stirred souls, creating a magical ocean.
Through the corridors of time, his fame would transcend,
His melodies embraced, as universal hymns descend.

With every verse, his voice would soar high,
Touching celestial realms, reaching for the sky.
His Qawwali, a divine connection to the divine,
Enchanting listeners, like a sacred shrine.

But as the cycle of life spins its timeless thread,
A successor emerged, from Nusrat’s legacy bred.
Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, carrying the torch with grace,
Stepping into the limelight, as a worthy heir takes his place.

In the footsteps of his uncle, Rahat too does sing,
Keeping the flame alive, the melodies still cling.
With his soulful voice, he carries on the tradition,
Enchanting hearts, with his own unique rendition.

Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, the Sufi maestro, forever in our hearts,
His voice resonates, even though he’s far apart.
And Rahat, his successor, continues the musical reign,
A testament to the legacy that will forever remain.

Oh, Nusrat, your voice was a gift so divine,
An eternal melody, that will never decline.
Nusrat, you reign as the King of Qawwali, in every beat,
Forever cherished, your music, a heavenly feat.
